Yes. And the all wheel drive, when you have the right gear selected for the rear, gets you through an intersection from a full stop faster than anyone there. Being in front and not be pushed or crowded by the cars is a god send. (It also feels cool being the quickest to 22 mph. I hear people rev hard to the side of me a moment after I take off sometimes and it feels like they decided to roar past the quick bike. Hahaha!)

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
